POLITICS OF FORESTS: NORTHERN FOREST-INDUSTRIAL REGIMES IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION; ED. BY ARI AUKUSTI LEHTINEN

"Bringing together case studies from Canada, the Nordic countries and Russia, this book is the first to provide a comparative examination of the current transformations in the forest industry regimes and the challenges these make for the communities dependent on this industry. It focuses on individual forest companies and argues that these are the main motors of the industry's internationalization, often without taking due consideration of the complex interrelations between society, the environment and forest trade. It concludes by highlighting instances of processes working towards homogenization and diversity, and suggests that while Anglo-American management practice is increasingly important across the northern forest regions, it is also meeting with resistance, due to historical and political conditions."--BOOK JACKET.
